Would it's serialization method (offer various options for) pretty 
print(ing)?

I'd like to use it where my program is generating Ruby code (no parsing 
involved).
So it
* should be easy, intuitive and convenient to use;
* should offer a complete set of classes and methods, so that any Ruby
   program can be generated (including comments, shebangs and all);
* 's serialization method(s) should offer some control over layout:
   pretty printing; multiple files and locations; etc.

excited,

Tobi
